Full Version: OOC: Puyallups III: This time its corporate
I'm gonna be out of commission for a little bit, got my finals tomorrow and Tuesday, then I should be good but I need to get to studying which leaves little time for pleasantries at the moment. Sorry, about the sudden warning but it would've happened sooner or later. I'll be back in action after my last test at 3:30PM on Tues. most likely.
No problem. Thanks for the heads up. When RL rears its ugly heads, thats all we ask for is a heads up. 
I'm ok with fast tracking through the Mall and moving on to morning if you guys are. That will allow us to bring Dirtz back into the scene.

Go for it. You'll have to arbitrate if Spades meets anyone valuable at the Mall, but that's up to you anyhoo.
Here is a render from a character pack I'm making (custom textures and morph). She's supposed to look like Keira Knightley. I'm planiing on using her for Spades' friend. ==> closeup.
Let me know what you think.
Sure np. I was just planning to edit my post to finish it. Can be done anytime.

If you can somehow get her eyes and hair to pink-out then it would be spot on.
Hey guys, I'm back after some ridiculous testing. Time for me to get back into the swing of things.

Welcome back!!! I'm pretty sure I can make the hair pink, if that's what you mean by pink out. Does she have pink cyber-eyes, or just heavy pink makeup?
Let me know whether the guys wait the hour or take the delivery option.

Sam will wait the hour unless, it prevents the fast forward to the good part from happening.

I think I decided she had them, but even if she doesn't, one could get minor cosmetic surgery/contacts to make up for it too.

So pink eyes it is. Like the Easter Bunny... Gotcha. The one elven character texture I have has silver eyes, I can turn them very shiny and pink.

To prepare for tomorrow's run I need to summon and bind an air spirit. I'm thinking force 4 with the ability Accident.
Summoning 4 + magic 5 = 9dp 4 hits
Spirit oppossed force 4 = 4 dp 2 hits; 2 Services, Drain 4
Charisma 5 + Willpower 6 = 11 dp 3 hits
Damage taken 1 box of stun, resting one hour before the binding to negate.
Binding test: Binding 5 + magic 5 = 10 dp 2 hits
Spirit resistance test: Force 4 (x2) = 8 dp 3 hits
Spirit not bound, drain damage 6
Drain resistance test: Charisma 5 + Will 6 = 11 dp 3 hits
Damage taken 3 boxes of stun.
Sleep off the effects and let the timer run out on the air spirit. 2,000 yen of binding materials wasted.
The next morning bright and early I Attempt to summon another spirit, force 4 with added accident power.
Summoning 4 + magic 5 = 9dp 3 hits
spirit opposed: power 4= 4dp 1 hit; 2 services, 2 boxes of drain which I will buy off.

Gonna try another binding?
Nope...ain't got the materials needed and I'll have the spirit for the day which will do nicely
unless of course we're on standby into the evening hours...
Question: when I ask the spirit to use his accident powers can I specify how? Or is it like rolling the dice and see what happens???

You can specify.
Are you all still here? Anything for Sunday or ready for a bump to Monday? If we bump, where is everyone sleeping for the night? What are the Monday plans?
I'm ready, the next morning the spirit gets called up and we're on standby? Bump ahead when you're ready
Where is everyone sleeping for the night? What are the Monday plans?
I'm sleeping at my own place, but I did say Spades was going to come back and visit 'Shackles' while his friend was working... But I didn't want to go into another "by myself" scenario. It's been awhile since we talked about the mission, I don't know if we resolved the details. I know I'm going in as a fraud stand in for the guards because I happen to have all the essential gear needed. Dirtz was gonna blow the courier's tires. I'd imagine Gray will be the one taking out the courier what with her purchase of stick and shocks. She's going to snatch the prize and we bail, she takes her bike, I take Dirtz in the car and we split off. We take the heat off her and she gets outta dodge, we take care of any back up as per "Plan B." Sound solid?
Yeah, that was basically it. Sleeping off some fatigue at my place, bright and early after sunrise I start teh summoning again then wait for a vid call.
Have we lost Gray?
Post up an IC post bringing everyone together. Give me a time and a location.

No... I'm still here... rough week at work, too much OT. Sam slept at her place.

Sam's Ettiquette roll to convice Bloody Blades Metahumans to attend her brother's Metahuman Rights rally on Wednesday ==> 8d6.hits(5)--> [3,2,4,6,1,3,5,2] = (2)
Hey Sam, where we hanging out before the run? We got text messages for 10:30 so we should be on the move here fairly quickly.....Spades you going to come over or am I meeting you some place?
Ramses doesn't get a text message until a little later, saying that Spades is having trouble of his own. So best try to meet half way.
@ RedJack - Also, let me know if I need to make rolls anytime soon, or if this is purely cinematic.

@Ramses: we best hang out at a Starbuck's or Wal-Mart or soemthing within a few mile range of the pickup. If we're too far out of position we'll never make it in time to intercept the courier.
Everyone has been posting well and I just realized I had not given any incremental awards.

Sorry, my mind blanked, what are CSPs?
CSP = Common Sense Points. aka karma that can only be used on knowledge skills. (a Dumpshock house rule for pbp games)
@Soykaf: Did Spades actually spend the night in Sam's crappy little apartment? LOL
Hahaha, no... Terminology mostly. If you're speaking about the cats. I'm fairly sure you mean that as a joke, right?

I was referrring to your last IC post... I think it's just a typo, unless you meant it to be Sam Gorret's, and not Samantha Rodriguez's apartment. I thought Spades lived downtown is all. But if he did stay over, I just need to write that into my post. Somehow, I don't think Scrimp would be too happy.

True! Yeah, I'll update, I'd imagine Sam's not that much of a cheap date, hahaha.
Cub Scout camp this week. I should be able to post up tonight.
@Red
Can we do the background check on mr. richards with tina and kilroy. Nothing too expensive just a cursory look to see if anything raises an alarm.
Oh and how do we spend csp's? Just like karma but limited to knowledge skills I presume?

@All
Sorry for the continued delays. Cub Scout Day Camp took more out of me this week then I imagined and tonight is my best friend's birthday party. I will catch you all up for sure tomorrow though!

Yep, just request it in IC. That is definitely something he does.QUOTE (Dirtz @ Jun 17 2008, 11:36 AM)

Exactly
Ok. Post is up. Sorry again for the long delay.
S'fine, oh well they don't really have normal holsters in the Daegun char-gen... So I went with the most likely as a concealable holster for it didn't seem possible without it being hard to reach. -shrug- normal it is then.
Soycaf, Dirtz - You guys are up.
Hmm..... Been several days. Check in and let me know if RL has you strapped down.
Thx
Thx
Sorry what I miss? I'm waiting for a ride from soycaf..?
Yeah sorry, lack of response puts me in a "It'll be a few days before I need to post again" mood. Was waiting for an intro into getting to the area time-wise and conditions. Expected a Gobogen post, hahaha.
@Soykaf: Roll a street knowledge test. Use that to assist an edge test. (Roll the street knowledge test. Take any hits and add those as dice to your edge. Roll that many dice and tell me how many hits.) This is for your attempt to shave time on the drive.
Was going for my GPS telling me where everything was... Spades doesn't have street knowledge as a knowledge skill, so should I roll just straight intuition + GPS as a bonus? Then Edge?
The GPS will just show you a map, it will not show you what side streets will actually decrease your time and which ones will increase it. Street knowledge provides that first hand know about true street conditions, experience will traffic levels, kids playing in the streets, etc. You will need to default then. Intuition - 1
Ok this is where a good day turns bad.
Knowledge Streets
[2,1]= 0 hits, 1 crit failure.
I'm going to do that Edge roll now...
Edge
[2,5,5,6] = 3 hits.
Phew...

Wow... I didn't realize that you could spend edge to add dice after the roll.... AND those dice get the rule of 6.
You have successfully leveraged edge to not only negate a critical glitch, but to parley it into a success.

@SoyKaf
Ok. Now I need that edge test. You have 3 hits on the support and your edge is 4 so you have dp7.
@Gray
I need a driving test from you and a (2x)body test.
@Dirtz
I need a (2x)Body test.

The good thing is, I KNOW when it's important to roll edge... But with this character it can very easily bite me in the ass. Actually rolling edge after the fact, which I did, is not subject to rule of 6, only doing before hand. It gets really funny describing it, but that's what I remember the book saying. I'll go ahead and roll dp7 then.
Edge Test:
[6,6,2,1,3,6,4] = 3 hits.

Actually, yes it is but ONLY when you are adding dice and then only to the dice that were added. I thought rule of 6 only applied to dice before the roll as well. I discovered that when looking up the rules in response to your roll.QUOTE (SoyKaf Adict @ Jul 10 2008, 12:34 PM)

Excellent. You have your five minutes plus two.[6,6,2,1,3,6,4] = 3 hits.
Thank you, thank you... I aim to please, but my lucks a frail mistress.
